Description: | Russian bale seal. Flat and circular, there are two holes within the thickness to take cords. The obverse has four lines of Cyrillic lettering, reading (transliterated) .LD / MTAR / PCHINO / N II. This will be the name of the quality control officer and perhaps the number of the location at which he worked. The reverse has the Roman initials SP / NP. / F.W / 18 - - in four lines, with the last two digits of the date unfortunately missing. SP is probably missing a B (for St Petersburg); the next two lines are the initials of the producers of the goods. In the fourth line, the third digit begins with a flat top and an oblique line and may be a 7 or a 3 (John Sullivan thinks a 3). A scan of this seal was sent to John Sullivan of St Andrews University for comment; see letter in SMR file. Subsequently (February 2002) John Sullivan saw the actual seal, and his comments are unchanged. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1830
